I think it's a slippery road to assert the underlying terrain has jurisdiction

There were already such attempts in the early days of aviation as people tried to hinder planes to fly over their properties - I wouldn't establish a precedent in such direction.

This is a classic attempt to treat law as a pure logic exercise built on axioms established too many years ago when things like people flying were just mythic tales. A more pragmatic approach would be a better solution.
